Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- Its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If it would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The cumulative effect of previous extensions plus the proposed extension would result in disproportionate additions exceeding the 50% threshold in Policy LPD13, constituting inappropriate development that would reduce Green Belt openness, with insufficient countervailing considerations to justify approval.
